@emkenobi I distinctly remember thinking 'really? The guy from 10 things I hate about you as the Joker?'

Now I just wait and see how people do.

@emkenobi saw it in Dolby and I was fine with the volume.

@emkenobi Do we think McConnell is already dead or just incapacitated? Do you wait for confirmation before making it free again?

@visakanv have you looked at Just-In-Time supply chain management? Keeping stock costs money/space/time/capital. The cost of keeping needs to be less than the cost of downtime.

Extra keyboard/mouse cost is low. Cost of writing downtime/frustration is high.

@Mint_kawaii_bot There is also a certain amount of accumulated knowledge that a new gamer may not have. I saw a thing recently where the tutorial said that information was in the HUD. The new player didn't know what a HUD was. They were confused and struggled because they lacked the vocabulary.

@AdilanOliveira @MFries727 @chess_feed Torch, Leela, and Stockfish don't always draw against each other. Check out some of their games.

@MFries727 @chess_feed QB3 then rook takes on H1 check
King goes to A2 forced
Rook to A1 check and you have to take the rook
When you take the rook it's stalemate.

If Knight G3/F2 then RH1 check. You have to take the rook and stalemate again.

The sacrifice let's you still mate.

@lyracr0w0 Oh, hey, thanks. Really appreciate it.

[JMarks @J__Marks]

@TomaszGozdz @NMRobertRamirez Sorry, last move should be knight to F2, not G3.

[JMarks @J__Marks]

@TomaszGozdz @NMRobertRamirez This was my initial solution as well and it works, but white can interpose it's two queens to turn this into mate in 5. If you sac the queen with Q-G1 check, knight takes, then under promote to a knight with check, king forced to H1, then knight G3 is mate in 3. A bit faster.

@GailSimone The Wrist?
Maybe... The Thumb!

I like thumb best. Thumb sounds more intimidating.

You're under their thumb! Or something.

@N7IRL @GailSimone The next time they look at the phone the text says 'cut her'.

@GailSimone New York is the same way. Take out the four biggest cities and it's SUPER red. Like Red-Skull red.

@spideyava Hope your flight was quick, smooth, and quiet.

Also, just gorgeous. 🥵
